Scrap Car Shredder Machine: Applications in Car Parts Recycling

Introduction

After removing the liquids and disassembling the parts that can be directly reused or sold, the remaining parts on the car usually need to be recycled. These remaining parts are made of a wide variety of materials such as steel, non-ferrous metals, plastics, fabrics, rubber, etc. Scrap car shredder machine has the ability to handle a wide range of materials and can easily shred scrap car parts.

Scrap car parts shredder systems can achieve metal recovery rates of 80-85% of a vehicle’s weight. This high efficiency maximizes the value extracted from each scrapped car, significantly improving the economics of recycling operations.

Shredder combines advanced sorting technology with scrap car recycling to produce pure grade metal and plastic fragments that are easy to sell. For example: non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, specific plastic types such as PP, PE, PVC and PS/ABS, etc.

Scrap Car Shredder Machine: Applications in Car Shell Recycling

Among scrap car parts, 65% of the recyclable parts are steel, which are shredded and processed into new steel materials. Car shells make up a large proportion of this 65% of steel.

In the car shell recycling process, large car shells can be fed by crane to the feeding port of a large and powerful pre-shredder for preliminary shredding.

Then, the fragments are sent to a secondary shredder, usually a double shaft scrap car shredder machine, through a chain conveyor for primary shredding. At this point, the car shell is shredded into small pieces of 2-4 inches by strong and sharp rotating blades.

This step can be shredded again by a Hammer Crusher, or the ferrous metals (iron and steel) can be directly extracted from the shredded material through a magnetic separator.

The non-ferrous metals are then separated from other substances such as plastics, glass and rubber using an Eddy Current Separator.

For the metal, the main separated material, it can be sent to a smelter or refinery where it is melted and purified to be reused in the manufacture of new products.

Scrap Car Shredder Machine: Applications in Car Radiator Recycling

Unlike car shells, which are mainly composed of steel, car radiators are mainly composed of non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum.

Car radiators can be directly shredded by a double-shaft scrap car shredder machine and then fed into a hammer crusher by a conveyor belt for deeper shredding.

After using a magnetic separator to remove ferrous metals, eddy current separators and air separation technology can be used to screen out non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum.

The final result is copper and aluminum free of impurities, which are melted and reused in new products.

Scrap Car Shredder Machine: Applications in Car Bumper Recycling

Car bumpers are mainly composed of plastic, with non-plastic materials such as metal interspersed in them.

Metal materials such as screws and other non-plastic accessories usually need to be manually removed before shredding.

Use a feed conveyor to transport the processed car bumper into a scrap car parts shredder machine for shredding to obtain plastic fragments the size of half a palm. These fragments are then put into a granulator to obtain smaller plastic granules.

These plastic granules can be reprocessed and used in the production of injection molding and blow molding products.

Scrap Car Shredder Machine: Applications in Car Seat Disposal

The main shell or body of a car seat is usually made of plastic, and other materials include foam, fabric, metal, etc.

For larger car seats, a hydraulic pre-shredder is needed to break the seat into smaller, easier-to-handle pieces to prevent overloading the main shredder. The prepared car seat parts are fed into the main shredder, which is also known as the scrap car parts shredder. Depending on the required output size, a double-shaft shear shredder can be used for secondary shredding to obtain a finer particle size.
